Airplane Pictures from the 60's & 70's

- Vickers Vanguard -

On this picture taken late afternoon in December 1965, this Vanguard shines under the sunset. One cannot say the same for this service car...

A Vanguard approaching 24 R.

Did you recognize the Montée de Liesse?

I was 15 and came to this spot by bike from Villeray neighbourhood. A good ride!

Not only did the Vanguard have a caracteristic silhouette, but the engines had a particular sound signature. Easy to hear a Viscount or a Vanguard coming in without seeing either one. I won quite a few bets with friends who knew the different planes but did not yet learn to distinguish them by sound.
